BROCKPORT, NY—The College at Brockport, State University of New York, will join others across the world in a movement that aims to end violence against women on Feb. 14. Participants everywhere will stop what they are doing and rise up in dance and spoken word in a display of unity.

At Brockport, choreographed dances will take place at 10 am in Drake Memorial Library and at noon at Union Square in the Seymour College Union. At 12:14 pm a “Brockport Rises for Justice” poetry reading will take place in the Seymour Union’s Fireside Lounge.
